Chapter 288 -128: Xiangzhu, Xiangzhu, Get in My Mouth, Hehehehe

The two of them were far more invested than before.

Gu Xiangzhu’s sense of resistance had completely vanished; she was even starting to enjoy it a little.

‘This is just my technique, after all.’

‘After tonight.’

‘He’ll be able to stop comfortably before crossing the line.’

‘As long as that line isn’t crossed, any and all effects can be eliminated.’

[Current Wish for Gu Xiangzhu]: Use the Dream-Inducing Skill to help Zhao Ci vent, lest he continue to test the bottom line. Wish Completion Reward: Comprehension Value +100, Venting x1.

‘Huh?’

‘Your schemes really run deep!’

“Hiss…”

Zhao Ci felt his lips suddenly become empty, and in the next moment, a damp warmth touched his right earlobe.

‘Ah, this…’

The sensitive nerves in his earlobe continuously sent strange sensations to his heart.

The just-extinguished Yu Xin Flame began to stir once more.

‘I’m going to explode!’

Then, he felt his right wrist go slack. The next moment, a jade-like hand slid along his neck toward his other earlobe, caressing it gently.

He felt as if he were submerged in a vat of wine and honey, his consciousness slowly sinking along with his body.

His five senses blurred with bliss.

Waves of drowsiness washed over him.

‘This is bad!’

‘This woman is trying to hit and run, leaving me to have lewd dreams all by myself.’

‘Can I really let her succeed?’

So, while the last shred of his consciousness was still clear,

Zhao Ci twisted his body and clung to her tightly, like a koala hugging a tree trunk.

“Ah?”

Gu Xiangzhu was stunned for a moment. ‘Wasn’t I about to succeed? Why did he suddenly do that?’

‘Did the Dream-Inducing Skill fail?’

‘Has he lost control of himself?’

‘When did his hand slip inside my robes?’

‘No…’

Feeling Zhao Ci’s breathing even out, she breathed a small sigh of relief.

‘He’s asleep!’

‘Asleep is good.’

She tried to struggle free, but the moment she exerted any force, Zhao Ci showed signs of waking.

Helpless, she had to give up.

Lying in this young man’s embrace, she felt her heart begin to race.

“Huuu…”

“Am I going to have to sleep in his arms all night like this?”

“It should be fine.”

“He’s already asleep. What can he possibly do to me?”

“We stopped just before crossing the line.”

“My use of the Dream-Inducing Skill wasn’t perfect this time. Next time will definitely be smoother. At least I won’t end up trapped like this.”

“If this push and pull continues, I will surely be the one to claim total victory.”

“Wait, what’s this hot thing on my stomach?”

“Ah?”

“…”

Gu Xiangzhu’s body stiffened, and she was a little flustered.

But she didn’t dare make any rash moves.

「After a long time.」

「After a long, long time.」

Only then did she carefully wriggle free from Zhao Ci’s grasp, straighten her disheveled robes, and transform into a wisp of green smoke, fleeing in disarray.

「In the blink of an eye.」

She was back in Wangshu Palace.

Just as she was about to change her clothes, she walked through the door and saw Jing Zhongyue waiting for her.

“Greetings, Saintess!”

“You… why are you here?”

Gu Xiangzhu’s expression tightened slightly.

Jing Zhongyue gave her a strange look. ‘The Saintess seems a bit odd tonight,’ she thought. ‘Why did she immediately clutch the clothes over her lower abdomen the moment she saw me?’

‘Is there some secret hidden in that part of her clothing? The kind of secret that even I am not worthy of knowing?’ ℯ𝐥.𝒄ℴ𝓶

But despite her curiosity, Jing Zhongyue was well aware of her duties as a subordinate.

‘I must never ask about things I’m not supposed to know.’

She quickly said, “Saintess! Your subordinate has been monitoring the movements at the Main Altar lately. Just as you predicted, Huangfu Song has been at the Main Altar this whole time and hasn’t left!”

“I knew it!”

Gu Xiangzhu’s expression turned grim. She knew Huangfu Song all too well, and she knew Shuimo too.

The former’s ambition was immense, but his ability was lacking. He was nowhere near capable enough to achieve his absurd aspirations and could only rely on the Demon Monarch’s strength.

As for Shuimo, she was like an accessory to the Demon Monarch—the kind of person who couldn’t live without them.

Shuimo would never completely trust anyone else.

But if she had to choose one person from among the Saintess and the Four Guardians, Huangfu Song would undoubtedly be the most trustworthy, relatively speaking.

And now, the situation looked as though Shuimo had already placed her trust in Huangfu Song.

This signal was very intriguing.

‘Why would Shuimo entrust herself to Huangfu Song?’

‘There’s only one explanation.’

‘She’s getting desperate!’

‘The Demon Monarch has appeared, but she can’t find them.’

‘Why is she in such a hurry?’

‘Because it’s highly likely the Demon Monarch is in an extremely weakened state—so weak they can barely protect themselves. She can only rely on Huangfu Song’s power to help her find them.’

‘But…’

‘The Demon Monarch mastered the Celestial Demon Body Refining Secret Technique. Even with the gravest of injuries, it’s impossible that they haven’t healed after twenty years.’

‘What unknown events have transpired here?’

‘And then there’s Huangfu Song.’

‘At first, I thought Huangfu Song’s weakness was in preparation for possessing someone close to Zhao Ci.’

‘And Zhao Ci himself had said he suspected one of the five Civilian Mansion Officials under him might have been possessed.’

‘But now, it feels like that’s not the case.’

‘Zhao Ci might only think that because he was misled by the conclusion I threw out there first.’

‘Because Huangfu Song’s energy is now clearly focused on finding the Demon Monarch, and the recent frequent activity of Demon Sect members in Lingge City corroborates this point.’

‘Unless the Demon Monarch is inside the Tenth Prince’s Mansion.’

‘Otherwise, a mere Secret Wine Refining Skill wouldn’t be enough to make Huangfu Song divert his attention to do something like this.’

‘But… is that possible?’

‘The Demon Monarch would have to be insane to hide in the Tenth Prince’s Mansion.’

Lingge appears peaceful on the surface, but a dark undercurrent is surging beneath.

Huangfu Song was already being watched by the Imperial Clan Court, yet he still acted recklessly, sending a host of his core followers to Lingge.

Moreover, some of them have already been discovered by the Imperial Clan Court.

‘Puzzling!’

‘It’s too puzzling!’

‘What on earth is the Demon Monarch’s situation right now?’

“Heh…”

Gu Xiangzhu let out a cold laugh. “In this entire, massive sect, it turns out I’m the only outsider.”
